Contract Art Director
Department: Content
Employment Type: Fixed Term - Part Time
Location: Vancouver
Compensation: $45.00 - $60.00 / hour
Description
Changing consumer behavior in a cookieless world, the rise of GenAI, and the need to avoid commoditization is all transforming the practice of Marketing & Communications. As an Art Director at Quietly, you will lead that charge, tapping into our unique data-driven insights to generate industry-leading content ideas. Then you’ll roll up your sleeves and help bring them to life. If you get as excited about creating world-class visual work as you do about cracking a breakthrough concept, we’d love to meet you.
You bring experience from creative agencies or publishing and the confidence to work on completely new types of projects. You’ll be expected to take ownership of design direction, create compelling visual concepts, and lead the execution of high-quality creative work. You’re comfortable presenting and justifying your design decisions to stakeholders, making data-driven recommendations and adjustments based on feedback. You inspire your teammates to raise the bar on every level – from brief to execution – because you fully understand this new experience economy, how and why audience expectations are transcending categories, and where the future is headed for B2C and B2B brands. You are looking for the next big challenge, and like us, you have no small plans.
This is a contract opportunity for three months working up to 20 hours per week with the potential to extend. You will have the flexibility to work remotely during North American business hours, from our headquarters in Vancouver, or a hybrid of both. If these values resonate, we’d love to hear from you.
